Devaki's POV
"Haan to tumhare pet me kyu dard ho raha hai?" I asked Thakur as he talked about Bhuvi.

"Bas ese hi" He said with a smile. I ignored him.

I turned towards the tv and smiled widely.

He was jealous! The Thakur Sumedh Singh Bhadoria was jealous! He was J.E.A.L.O.U.S.

Damn it!! The plan was working perfectly.

*******

The next day Bhuvi called me.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Sorry yaar woh weight training ka session cancel ho gaya" He said.

"What the hell man! Ese kese cancel!?" I asked.

"Aaj Ziva ka kucch check-up krvana tha to Mahi Bhai hospital gey hue hai, iss lie cancel ho gaya" He explained.

"Ohh...Ziva theek hai na vese?" I asked.

"Haan woh normal check-up hai, you know baccho k toh chalte hi rehte hai" He said. I hummed.

I saw Thakur coming in the room.

"Accha Bhuvi..." I said making sure that Thakur notices that I was talking to Bhuvi.

"...apni team ka selection kab poora ho raha hai?" I asked.

As soon as I said Bhuvi, Thakur stopped and looked at me for a second.

He smiled and left.

Damn! He left.

"Umm, players ki list kucch dino me aa jaeghi" Bhuvi replied.

I looked at the door. I saw a shadow there.

Oh, so Thakur was standing there listening to my conversation. I smiled.

"I hope they select you" I said.

"Kyu?" He asked.

"Ya to ham dono select ho jae ya dono me se koi bhi na ho" I said.

"Esa kyu?" He asked again.

"Me tumhare bagher team me kya krunghi. You are the best yaar!" I said. He chuckled.

"Sun na, mujhe jaana hai kahi to baadme baat krenghe" Bhuvi said and ended the call.

Thakur went. I chuckled.

In the evening, I told everything to Parul and Siddharth. They were really happy as our plan was working.

Sumedh's POV
A couple of days passed. Devaki and Bhuvi were getting closer and I hated it.

She was my Devaki. How dare he talk to her like that? It was simply unacceptable!

All I wanted was Devaki to stay with me. I was getting better day by day. I really hoped that she noticed it.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon when Dhani came.

He always comes on Sundays to give me report of the whole week.

He sat and gave me some files.

Parul and Devaki were watching tv in the hall and we were sitting on a couch in the same hall.

"Theek hai Dhani, sab baraabar hai" I said.

"Baraabar? Thakur Sahab ek kisaan ne aapka ek mahina purana karza nhi chukaya abhi takk" Dhani said shockingly.

"Pta hai" I said.

"Uska karaan hai k uski biwi bimaar thi. Jo pese mujhe lautane the woh usne apni biwi k ilaaj me laga die. Isme galat kya hai?" I asked.

He kept quiet.

"Iss file me likha hai k abhi bhi usko kucch peso ki zarurat hai. Ek kaam kro, thode aur pese dedo usse" I said. He nodded.

"Vese Thakur Sahab ek baat bolu?" He said.

I nodded.

"Aap chaho to uski beti ko le aau tekri pe? Aapki nazar thi uss ladki pe" He said in a low voice.

"Haan nazar to thi. Uske lie paas k gao ka ek accha ladka dekha h mene. Uske gharwalo ko milao ladke se aur dekho baat aage badhti hai ya nhi" I said.

He looked at me confusingly.

"Kya!? Ese kya dekh rahe ho? Dhani galat kaam chodne ki koshish kar raha hu me. Ab jesa kaha hai vesa kro...jao" I said.

He nodded and left.

Ahh, I was feeling good.

But I had to do something to this Bhuvi.
